Green Spot Chateau Montelena Irish Whiskey 750mL is a refined, wine-finished single pot still whiskey that beautifully marries Irish heritage with Californian innovation. Produced by Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland, this limited-edition release is initially aged in bourbon and sherry casks before being finished in French oak Zinfandel wine barrels from the acclaimed Chateau Montelena Winery in Napa Valley.

Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), Green Spot Chateau Montelena combines the creamy texture and spice of traditional Irish single pot still whiskey with the red fruit richness of Zinfandel wine. The result is a layered, elegant whiskey with notes of toasted oak, berries, vanilla, and baking spice—a stunning collaboration between Ireland’s whiskey masters and one of California’s most storied wineries.
